Put the Glass Down
Guidance for Reciting
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders，let it down for the moment if you can.
When giving a lecture on stress management，a lecturer raised a glass of water and asked the audience，“How heavy do you think this glass of water is？”
The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500g.“It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. It is the exact same weight，but the longer I hold it，the heavier it becomes.”
The same is true of the burdens we have. If we carry our burdens all the time，sooner or later，we will not be able to carry on，the burden becoming increasingly heavier. What you have to do is to put down the burden periodically，so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders，let it down for the moment if you can.

诵读导言
不管你此刻肩负怎样的重担，如果可以，都要将其卸下，休息一会儿。
一位老师正在给学生们讲解如何处理压力。他把一杯水举起来，问大家：“你们估计这杯水有多重？”
学生们的答案从20克到500克不等。“这杯水的重量其实由你举的时间来决定，而与它的实际重量无关，同样的一杯水，只是我举的时间越长，就会觉得它越沉重。”
这就如同我们要承受的负担，如果我们始终都肩负担子，总会有熬不住的时候，担子也变得更加沉重。我们一定要不时地将负担放下，如此才有利于精力的恢复，继续新的征程。
不管你此刻肩负怎样的重担，如果可以，都要将其卸下，休息一会儿。
